Hi all,
Is there any way of determining the model number of a Goldstar sound without looking under the hood? I have my eye on a guitar that has the script logo from 1984 but the string tree from 83 and before (not the "button" style of later years). It has the original Fender Strat-shaped headstock, maple fretboard and what looks like a metallic blue paint job with white scratchplate. Tuners have "Deluxe" written on the back. There are no other markings on the guitar - not even a serial number on the neck plate.
I know that the TSTs came in at least two or three "quality" levels duing this period, but I'm unsure whether the physical description of the guitar provides enough clues to distinguish between them. Anyone know?
Thanks very much in advance.
